Ambitions of a Man
-Wit Beyond Measure Is a Man's Greatest Treasure-
Day by day I'm overcome with the ambitions of a man
Not worried about the cards I'm dealt, but how I play my hand
I know my personality and motives are complex and hard to understand
I'm in love with myself I wouldn't change even if I can
It's so hot and humid in the streets I know the heavens can feel the burn
Been traveling on the wrong road too long, It's time I made a right turn
On the freeway you gotta pay a toll, why get off at the next exit
A car can only drive you out of your lane if you let it
It might take something colossal like an eighteen wheeler
Been dreaming of my ideal wifey so long I can almost feel her...
Next to me in my bed I attempt to pull her hair
She digs her nails in my back, honey got the strength of a bear
Highly intelligent and educated, but I'm still bound for college
A must in my mind to gain the best knowledge
Trapped in a maze trying to make it out like a mouse
Something I don't want my kids to feel when they live in my house
Encourage my girls to be women and my boys to be men but not like that singing group
My sixteen year old son get good grades I'll get him a coup
Reward my kids for taking care of business
Best father and man, I belong in the Guiness
Got a big ego I admit, I don't care
It's infinite wisdom and titanic guts sittin under my braided hair
Test my manhood that's a big dare
Volcanic temper melt you away and watch your life vanish in thin air
I'm a man not a hustler I'm done selling drugs
Acknowledge its legit money when you enter my home and put your feet on my rugs
Can't tell you how good it feels to cash an honest check
Love money so much I might get a green dollar sign on my neck
These days making any kind of money is considered a hustle
Money is the band-aid that'll heal the scar on my life's struggle
I honestly don't feel money is the root of all evil
I feel its just the root of all people
Ambitions of a man...
